Dr. Katz is a good doctor with a great sense of humor. I didn’t have to wait at all in his office. While he maybe old school, he was honest that he doesn’t do surgery any more that I needed and referred me to 3 other surgeons that he knew were qualified. He asked me follow up questions related to my answers and concerns. The office is clean and organized.

Dr. Katz is an ENT veteran, a highly experienced MD; however he is neither "tired" nor "smug" as many medical professionals of his stature often become. Instead, he is energetic, interested, and has a good sense of humor. All to say, an excellent combination of humanityP and learnedness.

Dr. Katz was courteous, informative, and did his best to explain things rather than blankly prescribing medications. His staff is also very helpful. Highly recommended.

I had an emergency this past Monday, and I desperately needed to see an ENT. Through Google, I discovered ZocDoc, and through ZocDoc, I discovered Dr. Alvin Katz. I had a 12:30 appointment, but I waited about 45 minutes to be seen. As this was scheduled during my lunch hour, I wasn't very thrilled about the delay. But my experience overall more than made up for it. The office staff is incredibly nice and helpful. Paperwork and insurance is handled swiftly and without difficulty. The nurse was very caring and extremely professional. When she learned of my general squeamish-ness at being in a Doctor's office, she laughed and told me she'd be staying to watch. I can honestly say that Dr. Alvin Katz is hands-down, one of the best Doctors I have ever had. Apologizing profusely for the delay, he proceeded to spend the next 45 minutes in the treatment room with me. He did not leave my side once. He was incredibly knowledgeable, and took the time to give me an education as well, in regards to my condition. I left the office feeling much better. Indeed, we're a few days removed from my appointment, and I haven't felt this good in two weeks. As far as I'm concerned, Dr. Katz is the reason why I'm feeling better. Dr. Katz is extremely professional, incredibly compassionate, and most importantly, good at what he does. I consider myself very lucky to have found such an excellent physician here in New York City. The next time I need an ENT here in Manhattan, I know exactly who I'm going to call.

Dr.Katz was careful in his treatment, but I do not feel too much empathy from him, and the wait time sometimes take almost an hour.

Wait time was passed 30 mins. This doctor seems to know what he's talking about but he has bad listening skills.
